This was worse than Resurrection and RZH1&2, to be honest

At least those had some redeeming qualities even if they didn't need to be made! This film however is bland, the Myers house isn't supposed to be a big 3-story mansion, it's supposed to be a 2-story house. Jamie Lloyd is nearly mute for the first half of the film and the characters are so 1-denominational they make Friday The 13th's characters look Shakespearean in comparison. The only good thing about this film was the laundry chute towards the end of the film and maybe the police station explosion but that's it. Even H6 is superior, at least they got the Myers house right in that one and I heard the Producer's Cut version was really good!

It's bad, but IMO still not as bad as Part 6 or Resurrection.

Communism was just a red herring.

While I agree that H6 and RZH1 are superior, at the risk of being lynched, I actually think this film is MUCH better than RZH2 (not that its bad or anything), but H5 felt more like a Halloween film to me than RZ H2 did (plus, it has some great atmosphere, one of my favorite Loomis portrayals, and the ending is sinister and creepy). I would actually say its one of ny favorite sequels in the series.

Not even close. Sorry.

I personally like all the Halloween movies. While I recognize they're not all technically "good" movies each one entertains me and have some qualities to make them worthwhile which is all I ask for. Halloween 5 is near the top of the list for me. Although many dislike it and feel it is lacking because it was rushed into production, I think it's one of the best sequels.

Oh come on now, I will agree this film had major problems that the series never recovered from and it was the first film to have a big drop in quality, but it's still better than any of the crap that came after it.

I think Resurrection, RZH1&2 are better, but I don't dislike this one at all. Maybe it's nostalgia, but I've always had a soft spot for this movie, and I dont consider it the worst in the series (That would be H20).
